My cousin, Ann, played her Autoharp and sang at my wedding! In all her years with us, I don't think I ever heard her complain about anything. Her entire family is that way and have been there for Ann and one another as long as I can remember. If there's a Kroger in Heaven, I bet she is doing donuts in the parking lot!!! We will all miss her.

I am saddened to hear of Ann's passing. I have many happy memories of working with Ann during the late 70's & early 80's in TSPS operator services at SBC (now AT&T). I feel very blessed to have known her.
My heart is with Ann's family and friends in this time of sorrow.

Ann was such an inspiration to us all. It was always such a joy to walk in and see her smile behind that reception desk at DHS. I am so blessed to have known her.

Ms McDaniel, Allen & Family
I was so sorry to hear about Ann. I worked with her at SBC around 1975. I took her & Enoch grocery, clothes & etc shopping. We enjoyed going to all of our favorite restaurants. She always wanted to drive so I let her do that at Kroger parking lot on Geyer Springs. I was so glad to help out with her wedding. In fact I took her & Ken to their honeymoon at the Hilton on University. I kept her wedding gown until I had to relocate with ATT to Dallas in 1992. I was so glad to finally meet you and her family at the wedding. She was avery kind,caring and sweet person that I will always remember
My Thoughts & Prayers are with all of you at this time.

Allen,
Your mom was a very funny, and sweet woman, who spoke of you and your family. I met her through Links, many years ago.
She will be missed!!!

Ann was by far my best friend and someone I looked up to at a young age and even now. She taught me to never let my vision loss hold me back and to always stand up for what is right! Words can't express how dearly I love and will miss her! Prayers for Allen and all of her family during this time! Love you all!

She was a delight to be around. I will think about her fondly when I listen to James Taylor; one of her favorites. Prayers for all.

I had the privilege to work with Ann at DHS. I was amazed at how well Ann would know who she was speaking to when she heard their voice. She was always so sweet and friendly to everyone. She will be missed greatly. I pray her family members find comfort in the memories they have of her. She is resting in peace without pain now.
